Schoenberg on Schoenberg

Schoenberg, the Maker

“In everything [I] did, [I] tried to evolve the current forms to fit the times in which [I] lived.

[I] applied this principle to every aspect of life.”

“I do not compose principles, 

but music.”

Schoenberg, the Musical Inventor

Schoenberg, the Storyteller

“[We] have the opportunity to receive what art can give you: Things which nobody can imagine, but which the artist can express.”

“I hope that my pupils will be seekers! For they will learn that we seek, only to seek further; and that finding, which to be sure is the goal, may easily put an end to striving.” 

Schoenberg, the Inspiration
